According to a report from district spokesman Chris Rosenblum, the GRAMMY Foundation selects top public high schools across the county and recognizes their “commitment to excellent musical education programs” as GRAMMY Signature Schools.

If State High is selected as a finalist, it will receive an award and monetary grant to benefit its music education program, Rosenblum said.

Grants range from $1,000 to $6,000.

Finalists will be announced in March.

In the same month the school’s music program was recognized, 150 State High students received AP Scholar Awards for their performances on AP exams.

Of that, 27 qualified for the National AP Scholar Awards, Rosenblum said.

Students eligible for the national award scored a 4 or higher on eight or more exams.
